I can get everything to work and even make changes and compile to the code. The reason I'm using the VR provided from the Wandboard site is that I was never able to get the environment right when I tried to make one on my own. At least I CAN compile the code using this VR and run the 'build process' from the guide.

This line that invokes the script, which I assume is supposed to partition the SD card, gives all kinds of errors, even on a known good card that boots android and is already partitioned. Same results on a zeroed device.

If you created or changed a DOS partition, /dev/foo7, say, then use dd(1)to zero the first 512 bytes: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/foo7 bs=512 count=1(See fdisk(8).)Warning: /dev/sdX is not a block deviceDisk /dev/sdX: cannot get geometry

Well, I said I was getting stupider and stupider. Thanks for the information, but there was one other little thing, and I remembered a similar problem I had with Windows.

For some reason my USB 3 card reader/writer does something sometimes that cause SD cards not to work correctly especially for partitioning or doing non-native Windows partitions IF there is another card reader installed (I have 2)

Thanks, I did get the script to work!

Ah, the Wiki misses a couple of important steps, such as making a couple of directories.

I did get the 4.3 example to compile, create the SD partitions, manually made a few directories, and finished the build from the guide. Boots fine with no display or anything connected to the USB port. However, if the monitor is connected it gets the dreaded "untracked pid' loop and never boots.

Going to take those wiki pages and scripts and make one specific for me, then try to do a 5.x compile.
